A Durham University spokesperson said: “Durham continues to perform extremely well globally and is listed in the top echelon of universities in the world within these latest QS rankings.

“We are particularly pleased that the QS rankings recognise our strong reputation amongst academics and employers around the world.

“We are also consistently ranked as one of the top five universities in the UK according to The Guardian University Guide 2018 and The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2017.

“Our new University Strategy includes ambitious proposals to ensure that we build on our strengths so that we can continue to deliver world-class research, education and wider student experience.”

Professor Richard Davies, pro-vice-chancellor of Engagement and Internationalisation at Newcastle University, said: “Our performance in the latest QS World University Rankings is a testament to the quality and impact of our research. It also reflects our commitment to continue to deliver outstanding student experience and excellent environment for our students’ personal and professional development.”
